1. It has come to the attention of forum staff that Dollshe Craft has ceased communications with dealers and customers, has failed to provide promised refunds for the excessive waits, and now has wait times surpassing 5 years in some cases. Forum staff are also concerned as there are claims being put forth that Dollshe plans to close down their doll making company. Due to the instability of the company, the lack of communication, the lack of promised refunds, and the wait times now surpassing 5 years, we strongly urge members to research the current state of this company very carefully and thoroughly before deciding to place an order. For more information please see the Dollshe waiting room. Do not assume this cannot happen to you or that your order will be different.

  • Face-up artist(s):
    Unknown
    Body blushing artist(s):
    Me
    Date of acquisition:
    July 2023
    Provenance:
    Purchased IOS Anos head from YOUKAIMOON, purchased Volks SD13 body from nikittin.
    I sees a pretty head, I buys a pretty head. My impulse control is nonexistent.

    On my return to the hobby, I first went hunting for a head for Cassian. In that hunt I kept seeing this IOS Anos head...and what do you know, I'd just purchased an SD13 body that I was planning on giving to Aren, but alas! It could not be. The body went to Kestrel instead.

    YOUKAIMOON sent Kestrel's head along with a beautiful Monique Gold wig and gorgeous silicone eyes. So far I love the combination, even if I don't quite love how much dust the eyes attract. I installed some lashes because I'm a masochist, though I'm not 100% about them and may remove them.

    Kestrel's body is actually yellowed white resin-- I did some quick blushing to match the neck and hands, and it seems to fly under the radar pretty well. I also had some clothes that none of my other dolls seemed to nom onto, so I gave them to Kestrel...and boom! Kestrel happened.

    This was a very easy doll for me overall. Everything just kind of happened and fell into place, which did a lot to help reignite my interest in BJD's!

    Apologies for poor photos in advance. They're...surprisingly hard to photograph? That and their hair is quite defiant. The hair cares not for wig spray nor hairpins. Here's hoping that when the weather cools off I'll be able to get their desert photoshoot going with minimal drama from the wig.
  • Eyes:
    16MM Masterpiece soft glass eyes in Fawn.
    Wig:
    Monique Gold Roxy wig in Foxy Red
    Favourite colours:
    Bronze, sienna, and jade.
    Fashion style(s):
    What, another fantasy-ish aesthetic?
    Key fashion accessory:
    All the little hairpins holding their floof in place.
    I'll put more here when I start spoiling Kestrel. So far they're looking real pretty in their outfit.
  • Name story:
    I always liked 'Kestrel' for a name, so I went ahead and plopped it on them.
    Character age:
    Adult.
    Character gender:
    Nonbinary. They/them.
    Offsite roleplay:
    This doll's character is available for offsite roleplay.
    Tall, broad, and built like a bruiser, Kestrel is used to being the biggest person in the room. Thankfully they've found some use for their brawn in adventuring.

    Besides adventuring, their hobbies include indulging in excess, lifting people for show, and refusing to wake until the sun is midway through a morning.
